Full Description
PRN 13746
Methodist chapel marked on map. {1}
The former Wesleyan Methodist chapel was visited in 2008. The chapel is built of red brick with gault brick and stone dressings. The gabled front elevation has clasping terminal pilasters with stone and brick copings but the original openings have been replaced by "garage" doors. The gable has a dentil cornice of gault brick and 2 gault brick roundels, one containing a date tablet. The north and south elevations have dentil cornices, the former of red brick and the latter of gault brick, and are of 3 bays separated by brick pilasters. The pointed gothic windows have 2 lights, with a roundel in the arch, and stone jambs and keystones but gault brick dressings in the window arches. The roof has been replaced with corrugated iron on the south side but retains the slate covering to the north. There are ornamental ridge tiles. The date tablet in the gable displays a date of 1866 though documentary sources record a Wesleyan chapel as having been built in Kirton End in 1820. The present building may replace this. The building is no longer used as a chapel but its present use is uncertain. {1}{2}{3}
